tious within three blocks of Nicollet, any of
which would be better than the present A
general city and county building would not
meet my. views-they should be separate
A. Holt think the court house should
stay where it is.
A. j. Shire-If ground down town can be
got at any reasonable figure, bring the court
house down, but rather than pay half mill
ion for site, would say let it remain where
it is.
Judge Ueland-I have no idea where the
building should go and don't care.
F. B. Hart-Inside of Fourth street and
below First avenue, but not far.
J. H. Stecle--if / had my way would put
it right across from the Tribune blu ilding on
Fourth street or else on the Washington
school property.
c. A. GaIlagher-I don't know what the
prominent idea is, but the city and county
court should be together, not below Fourth
avenue, not north of First avenue north and
not beyond Sixth street.
Hector Baxter-My idea has always been
that the Stewart property was the place. It
is most central and most convenient to bust
ness. I would favor joining city and county,
if by so doing we could have building credit
able to the city.
A. IT. Ankeny-ThCr are but two proper
sites: First the Stewart property and second
the Washington school block. Certainly. unite
the city and county government. Should be
Joined in one fine building.
r. B. Forrest-We need a new and COM
modious court house and it should be be-
tween Fourth and Henuepin avenues and
Fourth and Sixth streets.
George G. Jacoby-It should be as near
Hennepin as possible. Business men are the
liti@ants and they should not 20 far from
their business.
Judge Mahoney-I think the city and county
should build together if a central location is
secured. l do not think, however, the city
offices and courts should be moved to the
present location OF the court house.
]. w. Griffin-The court house Dug bit to be
up town; never should have been wnere it is
now. The city and county should most as
suredly build together. The sooner the site is
secured the better, for property is advancing
every dar.
Col NJ W. Glenn-About First avenue
south AID Fourth street south would suit
me. The county and city should build to-
gether.
Aid. H. c. Morse-People naturally shrink
from such an undertaking. It looks to me as
though $1,000 900 should buy site and put
up good building. While I think we could
the rise in the value of property will more
than equal the interest on bonds. The loca-
ton should be as far back as Fifth street and
as far South as Fourth avenue.
Judge Baley-I think there would be
continual fight if the city and county should
build together. think there should be sep
arate build ngs on the same block for the con-
venience Of the public.
Selah Matthews-A whole block of ground
should be secured by purchase. not by con-
demnation, then Il joint building should he
put up, / am in favor of buying the addi-
tional four lots and building on the block
where the court house HOW stands.
Comptl oller Holbrook-The city can't afford
to issue any more bonds. l expect we will
reach the per cent. limit this wear any how.
]. W. Henion-The place for the court
house is just where it is now, and it should
be good one for city and county purposes.
S. W. Farnham-Second avenue south and
Seventh street is about the point.
